Description
Every year, Yidstock ends with a one-time-only performance by an all-star ensemble, under the musical direction of Frank London. This year's All-Stars include Eleanor Reissa, Merlin and Polina Shepherd, Lorin Sklamberg, Lauren Brody, and Paul Shapiro. In honor of the yahrzeit of popular Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem -- who died 100 years ago May, 2016 -- the musicians will play songs associated with Sholem Aleichem, including a few from the new Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof.
